Dave Kellog published a new post recently titled A Fresh Look at How to Measure SaaS Churn Rates in which he introduces several new concepts related to SaaS churn.

What about logo vs revenue churn, by cohort, by product, by account, or by any of a number of other measures? It gets more complicated, quickly.
